In fairness, a few of the liberals (and conservatives I might add) that are no longer on here aren't on here as a result of their own actions... doxxing and even threats... so I want to make it clear that the 'tone' on here isn't a one way street and never has been. I'm not saying you disagree, I'm simply saying that at one point, this board skewed pretty hard left. More conservatives who were on here, but not on this board came over here and suddenly it skews right.

The number of times that those of us on the right were asked to defend a rather 'crazy' interpretation of something Trump (or Cruz or Bush or whomever) did (or was alleged to have done) is certainly in the REALM of the number of times the left has been asked to do the same thing...

Amusing to me that Tanq essentially posted the same thing at the same time. He wasn't even on here at the time of which I'm speaking.... so he's speaking of a different group of posters. I think I've banned one or MAYBE two from each side on this board.... Early on I let some conservatives get off with simple warnings because there weren't any conservative voices... and more recently I've done the opposite. I think I'm the only Mod who cares to even read any of this.... and I've extended numerous offers to liberals to moderate. I was a mod before I started on this forum and probably wouldn't have taken this position if I had been on here.
